Fang Zheng had a good and comfortable sleep, but the price he paid was that the four girls did not fall asleep at all.

After Fang Zheng kicked them out of the room, the girls immediately returned to the guest room and started discussing.

"What on earth was that? Were we hallucinating?"

Chiba Erica still couldn't believe it until now. She even pinched her face until it turned red, but she still didn't seem to wake up.

"I remember that there are indeed descriptions of gods and elves in ancient magic..."

Shibata Mitsuki also looked bewildered.

"No, no, no, that's just a legend. In fact, up to now, even in ancient magic, no one has really been able to summon things like elves or gods, right?"

Honoka Mitsui retorted in panic, but Shizuku Kitayama answered calmly.

"Then how do you explain it? At least we did see with our own eyes that the two ladies transformed from swords into humans... and Kasugano-san did say that they were sword spirits, so it seems that it's okay to regard them as a kind of spirit."

"It's strange that an elf appears in human form... um... But this topic..."

Halfway through her speech, Honoka Mitsui couldn't help but close her mouth with a bitter face, and the others were also speechless.

"Yeah, I can't even talk about this topic with others..."

Although Fang Zheng did not ask them to keep it a secret, the girls present were not stupid. Even if none of them used ancient magic, they knew that elves appearing in human form were unprecedentedly rare. They certainly would not be stupid enough to tell others about it.

but……

"Wait, those two elves have always been with Kasugano, which means they are always with Kasugano? Whether taking a bath or sleeping?"

Chiba Erica's eyes lit up, and she discovered a blind spot. When she heard Erica's words, Mitsui Honoka's face suddenly turned pale. Seeing her friend's reaction, Kitayama Shizuku showed no expression on the surface, but sighed slightly in her heart.

For your friends, this may be the most important issue.

Soon, a night passed.

None of the four girls had a good sleep. When they left the hotel and got on the bus, one could even see two obvious dark circles under the eyes of Kitayama Shizuku and Mitsui Honoka. On the contrary, Fang Zheng greeted them with a refreshed look on his face - everyone was really jealous.

In a way, Fang Zheng is also first-rate in provoking others.

The participating school members took the bus and left the hotel at the same time. Chiba Erica and Shibata Mitsuki were not participants, so they were not eligible to take the bus. So they took Qianye's car and left later. By the way, because they had been discussing the two sword elves beside Fang Zheng all night, the two were now catching up on sleep in the hotel room, which was relatively relaxing.

After a brief farewell, the students of No. 1 High School left on the bus in high spirits, which was in stark contrast to the dejected and listless players from the other eight schools.

Especially the Third High School. They came with full confidence, but ended up leaving in disgrace. Not only did they not win any championship, but even Masaki Ichijo was defeated by an overwhelming advantage, and their ugly appearance was broadcast in front of everyone... Under such circumstances, the Third High School was obviously hit hard.

It can even be said that this Nine Schools Battle will become a psychological shadow for students from the other eight universities, which will never be eliminated in a short period of time.

The bus of the First High School was driving on the road, but the students' excitement did not disappear. Although a celebration banquet was held last night, everyone still seemed very excited.

"I heard that the school will hold a grand celebration for us again after we return this time."

"Hasn't this already happened once in the hotel?"

After hearing what Nanakusa Mayumi said, Fang Zheng seemed to be in trouble.

"This is different. From the school's perspective, such an unprecedented victory should be promoted well. I heard that the school will also hold a festival on this occasion."

"Please spare me. It's their business to cause trouble in school, but we are the ones who suffer."

Whether as the vice president of the student union or the discipline committee member, Fang Zheng didn't want to waste time on such a boring celebration. Of course, he also knew that the school would not miss such an opportunity. After all, the Nine Schools Tournament was not only a competition, but also an occasion to show their strength and attract students.

Just like the martial arts competitions in martial arts novels, the reason why they are publicly displayed instead of dueling like on the top of Mount Hua is to attract potential disciples among the spectators. After all, there are very few magicians now, and there are not many students who can enter magic high schools. For the nine colleges, competing for students has always been a problem.

"If you really think so, then don't act so well. In the final analysis, the problem is still you."

Facing Mayumi Nanakusa's answer, Fang Zheng could only shrug his shoulders helplessly and said nothing.

After all, she was right.

But at this moment, Fang Zheng turned his head, looked forward, and frowned slightly.

"What's wrong, Kasugano-kun?"

"Something is not right."

As Fang Zheng spoke, he stood up from his chair. His action naturally attracted the attention of other students on the bus. Fang Zheng said nothing, but walked to the driver's side, looked around, and then gave the order directly.

"parking."

"Why?"

Faced with Fang Zheng's sudden order, the driver was also confused, but Fang Zheng did not explain much. Instead, he glanced back, then slightly raised his right foot and stepped down hard.

"boom!!!!"

The next moment, a powerful force suddenly erupted, as if an invisible hand had fallen from the sky, firmly pressing down on the two speeding buses and forcing them to stop. This also caused the students in the bus to shake their bodies, and some who were not wearing seat belts were almost thrown out.

"What the hell is going on? Kasugano-kun!?"

Nanakusa Mayumi also hurriedly held onto the chair and shouted loudly, but at this moment, she suddenly saw several vans passing by her bus quickly from the window next to her. If that was all, she could still think that they were just passers-by, but when Nanakusa Mayumi saw these vans suddenly change direction and block the bus, she felt something was wrong.

However, soon, Mayumi Nanakusa's uneasiness became a reality - as the door of the van opened, fully armed soldiers wearing gas masks and bulletproof vests raised their guns and pointed them at them.

It's an attack!!

“Bang, bang, bang!!!”

Before Nanakusa Mayumi could react, several grenades whizzed out and shot towards the bus. However, they did not blow up the bus in front of them as planned. Instead, before these grenades hit the bus, a golden flashing barrier suddenly appeared, blocking the further attack of the grenades.

“BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM!!!”

The grenade that hit the barrier exploded, emitting a series of loud noises and flames, and the students in the car suddenly screamed... The students, immersed in the joy of victory, had never expected that they would be attacked in broad daylight. Now they were even more confused and didn't know what to do.

Damn, Russians are Russians, are they so tough?

Fang Zheng, who blocked the attack, also took a breath of cold air. He didn't know what the Soviet Union's plan was, because Fang Zheng just wanted Zhou Gongjin to leak the information through intelligence channels. As for what the Russians' plan was, he didn't know, and he didn't ask Zhou Gongjin to investigate. Because according to Fang Zheng's plan, the blame should be completely put on the new Soviet Union, so he and others must not appear in it.

Therefore, Fang Zheng had no idea what methods the new Soviet Union was going to use to deal with it. Of course, he himself didn't care - after all, a man of great skill and courage would be fearless. No matter what the Russians wanted to do, Fang Zheng was definitely not afraid.

But he didn't expect that the other party would be so tough and choose to attack at this time!

From this point of view, the attackers were obviously not stupid, and the commander was even more courageous and careful. After all, if they attacked during the Nine Schools War, considering the security forces of the Nine Schools War, it would be a way to seek death. If they attacked when the nine colleges arrived here, it would only alert the enemy.

On the contrary, it is more suitable to attack after the Nine Schools War is over. Because at this time, the students have consumed a lot of energy due to the rounds of competitions in the past ten days, and their abilities and strengths have basically been understood. They will also relax their vigilance when leaving school. In this case, launching an attack will definitely achieve twice the result with half the effort.

Moreover, the other side used heavy weapons right from the start, which was consistent with the Russians' bold and careful character, who would fight to the end once they decided on a target.

only……

Damn, your appetite is too big.

Fang Zheng was completely speechless when he saw the soldier jumping out of the car and taking out a portable rocket launcher. He originally thought that the other party only wanted to deal with the Third High School, but now it seems that they are planning to catch all the elites of the nine high schools in one fell swoop!

"boom!!!"

The rocket flew out and hit the barrier again. This time the shock of the explosion made many people scream. But not only that, at the same time as the rocket exploded, a dark green smoke also emerged and wrapped the vehicle.

"It's poison gas! Everyone close the windows and stay away from the windows!!!"

Seeing this scene, Nanakusa Mayumi's face changed drastically and she hurriedly gave orders, and the students huddled together in fear.

The limitations of magicians can also be seen here. If these attacks are caused by magic, then the students here have many ways to break them. Take Nanakusa Mayumi for example, she has the technology to condense magic power into bullets to defeat the opponent's magic.

However, what was in front of him was not magic, but just an ordinary physical attack. In this case, many methods specifically used to counter magic were useless.

Of course, this does not include Fang Zheng.

Looking at the poisonous gas in front of him, Fang Zheng shrugged his shoulders and then stretched out his hand and waved it.

"call--!!!"

The next moment, a strong wind suddenly rose from the ground, immediately rolling the poison gas into the sky. At the same time, Jumonji Kazuto also took action. At the moment when the poison gas dissipated, he suddenly raised his hand and hit forward. Then he saw a series of translucent magic barriers shooting forward like rolling boulders, and then completely knocked the van in front of him and the soldiers away. The weapons in their hands also seemed to hit the thick wall and were completely shattered.

But before everyone could take the next step, one of the soldiers raised the remote control in his hand and pressed a button.

"boom!!!!!"

A violent explosion came towards them, engulfing everything on the road. When the flames and storm disappeared, only a mess remained on the road before them.

Tsk tsk tsk, Maozi is Maozi, so cruel...

Looking at the body that was completely blown into charcoal, Fang Zheng couldn't help but sigh, then he raised his head and looked out the car window.

It's about time.

Thinking of this, Fang Zheng raised his hand and snapped his fingers.

The next moment, time stopped.
